Clever! Use a clip from the 1997 film, Volcano, to get your chemistry class knee-deep in heat concepts related to lava. In the movie scene, lava flow is stopped in the nick of time. Your class must use calculations to determine if this...

A flow chart of phase changes is marked with capital letters. A list of phase change terms is available to match with the letters in the flow chart. This is a unique approach to assessing your chemistry learners' grasp of these concepts....

How does radiation affect our daily lives? Answer that question and others with a lesson that discusses radiation and its use in thermal energy transfer through electromagnetic waves. Pupils investigate vaporization and...

Examine the energy transfer of phase changes through diagrams. The second slide show in a series of seven presents the information related to energy and phase changes. It includes the effect of pressure on phase changes.

Wow! This is a nifty presentation for teaching high school chemists about the heating curve. It displays a graph for temperature vs. heat added, then enters the curve itself. The final slide identifies each part of the curve. Notes are...

This extensive collection of slides begins with diagrams of molecules undergoing evaporation, progresses through methods of measuring pressure, demonstrates how to perform pressure calculations, and then explores the temperature-pressure...

This lesson will introduce a phase change diagram for water, relating energy to progress of a phase change, with labeling including specific heat values, heat of fusion value and heat of vaporization value.

This learning exercise would make a nifty quiz on the laws of thermodynamics. Nine multiple choice questions assess high schoolers' understanding of energy transfer, specific heat capacity, phase change, fusion, and vaporization. It is...

Students experiment with a pure substance and a phase change. In this heating and cooling curves lesson plan, students study the effects of heating and cooling a pure substance to observe a phase change. They determine both the melting...

Georgia State University Physics Department privides an incredibly thorough treatment of the laws of thermodynamics. Multiple pages; many informative graphics; opportunities to practice problems and receive immediate feedback.
